Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Misrepresentations of Early California History Corrected: Proceedings of the Society of California Pioneers in Regard to Certain Misrepresentations of Men and Events in Early California History Made in the Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft and Commonly Known as Bancroft´s Histories The Society of California Pioneers is composed of men who came to California prior to the first day of January, 1850, and their male descendants. The proceedings hereinafter recited have been taken there fore, after due and careful deliberation, by men, who are personally familiar with the true facts of early California history, and who have been actuated by a sense of duty to them selves and to posterity in correcting certain gross misrepresentations in regard to the men and events of that early period. These misrepresentations have appeared from time to time in the books commonly known as "Bancroft´s Histories," and have heretofore passed unchallenged and found common public acceptance as authority for reviewers, and others who have written upon the subject. The time has at last arrived when, in the judgment of the now old men who yet compose the majority of members of this Society, the gross mis-statements in regard to men and events which these books contain should be refuted, by the publication of the testimony of living witnesses, so that that testimony may go upon record and be perpetuated, and the real facts and truth of history be vindicated. In all its proceedings upon this question this Society has vainly sought to find a just motive on the part of the so-called "Historian" Bancroft for the astonishing mis-statements which he has given in his works. No excuse, no circumstance of palliation has so far been offered by him in the matter. This Society can do no more, therefore, than to refer the whole subject to the deliberative judgment of a discriminating public, in the belief that the common verdict of that public as well as that of posterity will be that such so-called "history" as that herein considered will forever be held to be unworthy of credence, and will deserve and find no place in the public or private libraries of the world.
